Most 60s giants (cept the Stones and Dylan, and even them to some extent.Neil Young got it together rght at the end of the decade) found the 80s difficult. They weren't helped by the now terribly dated production fashions of the time. Hence Hallelujah didn't take off till John Cale did it straight.

@@Spectrescup My own two cents. By the 80s, many people had been persuaded that collective struggle in general was futile. They retreated into their individual lives, and artists who had tapped into those collective yearnings found less to tap into.

I just heard this song on an album by Jill & Matthew Barber (both Canadians) titled "The Family Album". I saw the credit given to the rightful composer and lyricist. Because I was already familiar with LC's version I recognised it right away. And I always thought this was composed and written by LC. Great song. Recommend you listen to the Barber's rendition also.

I'm from piedmont, in the north of Italy. In my region many boys and girls leaved their home and fought against the fascist regime, and many of them never back home. I want to say: their sacrifice wasn't useless. In 25 april 1945 italy was free from fascism and 28 april 1945 Mussolini was killed by the partisans. Long live to Italy, long live to freedom.

lyrics: When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender This I could not do; I took my gun and vanished I have changed my name so often I've lost my wife and children But I have many friends And some of them are with me An old woman gave us shelter Kept us hidden in the garret Then the soldiers came; She died without a whisper There were three of us this morning I'm the only one this evening But I must go on; The frontiers are my prison Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing Through the graves the wind is blowing Freedom soon will come; Then we'll come from the shadows Les Allemands étaient chez moi Ils me dirent, "Signe-toi," Mais je n'ai pas peur; J'ai repris mon arme J'ai changé cent fois de nom J'ai perdu femme et enfants Mais j'ai tant d'amis; J'ai la France entière Un vieil homme dans un grenier Pour la nuit nous a caché Les Allemands l'ont pris; Il est mort sans surprise Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing Through the graves the wind is blowing Freedom soon will come; Then we'll come from the shadows

My favorite from Leonard Cohen, along with Avalanche. The guitar on both is awesome. They make me imagine I’m about to have a gun battle in the old west. I’m 39 and I just discovered LC- how is that possible?!

Ma jeunesse fout l'camp sur un air de guitare... tellement belle découverte de mes années 68-69, je vous écoute toujours, mais ces jours ci avec une grande tristesse.. Good buy Old Friend ! Reposez en Paix, Leonard Cohen .

I first heard this song through Mick Gordons version featuring Tex Perkins. Both versions capture the image of those dark times in their own way. Micks version is heavy and empowering, but this version feels like it was performed by ghosts. Beautifully haunting.

I had a vinyl copy of his greatest hits album when I was like 15 back in 2004ish and this song was on that record. It’s been one of my favorites for such a long time. It’s really good to hear this right now.

Right at the end of the war 1945 he was pit on a Nazi's forced march as a political prisoner. He died age 20 right at the end of the war in Leipzig age 20.
